Anyone who wants to afford a brand new smartphone model now has to budget over 1,000 euros for it. Of course there are also cheaper models *, but if you want to have the latest features without having to compromise, there is probably no way around such prices. But which one do you choose? The selection of manufacturers and their individual cell phones is now huge. To make your decision a little easier, the test portal Allesbeste.de took a closer look at a total of 58 premium smartphones. We'll reveal below which devices performed best in the tests.

As the top models from

Apple

,

Samsung

,

Huawei and co

.

are so close together, the testers point out that it does not make sense to choose a smartphone that is clearly the best.

And because the operating system - whether iOS or Android - is mostly a question of personal taste, a distinction is made between these categories.
